Continuing our chat with the lingerie-clad vlogging comedians!

Last week, we began our chat with Cate Imperio and Sam Fairley aka the brains and the bras behind “Unlicensed Professionals” their rude, nearly nude, and boundary pushing weekly video show.

Cate’s story took up part one of our show and it was hair-raising–drugs, drink, Catholic school, rehab and band management. Now it’s Sam’s turn to tell her story and at the end, we get to talk to both of them.

They are regular guests on Dr. Susan Block’s TV show, NSFW! NSFW! where they are up for damn near anything.

You can follow their exploits over at Electric SEX Enterprises on Vimeo.

Topics discussed include:

Sam’s story growing up in Tahoe and her family
A brief mention of Reno by way of Burning Man
The Reno zoo, which sounds really depressing
Sam’s Catholic School experience
How Sam got to Santa Barbara
Why male roommates are better than girls

Episode #025: Cate and Sam, Unlicensed Professionals Part 1 of 2

Lingerie-clad vlogging comedians!

Cate Imperio and Sam Fairley have a NSFW weekly video series called “Unlicensed Professionals” in which they deliver a barrage of humor, criticism, pet peeves, and observation, all dressed in bra and panties and more (and sometimes less). A year in and they’ve got their weekly podcast down to a science, tackling
sex, sexuality, hyena mating, drawing with your butt, and other freaky topics like the Golden Globes.

Their persistence has paid off and they’re now frequent guests on Dr. Susan Block’s Internet TV show, where they are up for damn near anything, but always with sarcastic humor and wit. They DGAF, as the kids say.

Here’s a taster:

I split this podcast into two parts, the first with Cate and the second with Sam (next week). It was an extra long discussion, and it was a nice dividing line, so be sure to check in next week. As you might guess the conversation is heavily explicit and contains many swears. Put in those earbuds!!

Topics discussed include:
Their first podcast
The problem with dressing as a guy
How the two met
The weirdest reactions to their act
Making fun of gluten free trends
Cate growing up in Long Island
How she maneuvered Catholic School
Cate’s family history and long convoluted drug history
Her very brief time in New Orleans
Pot smoking in NYC compared to Santa Barbara
How Cate finally quit drugs
Her “Bjork Swan” phase
